  1. Blowed up guy is back home now
  2. Can you explain this? I have Chase and use Zelle no problem (mostly to pay tutors/lesson teachers for the kids).
  3. In a shock to nobody, the ICE raid on a Chicago apartment building 17 days ago has resulted in zero criminal charges.
  4. I think we already pretty much knew this.
  5. So, after blowing up their boat, the government is just sending these "drug smugglers" back home. We're not going to prosecute them for drug offenses or as members of a terrorist organization. We're not holding them as POWs in the war of Venezuelan invasion. We're just sending them home. Seems totally legit.
  6. US has seized survivors after strike on suspected drug-carrying vessel in Caribbean, AP sources say
  7. Thought this was interesting
  8. Yup Trump ally under fire for racist attack at Hakeem Jeffries: 'White supremacist language'
  9. I guess this is the right thread for this...here's a really thorough deep dive on how events in Chicago are being misrepresented online. It's almost impossible to expect people to stay well informed when media is flooded with misinformation like this.
  10. We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
  11. This just seems hilarious to me. https://sanangelolive.com/news/politics/2025-10-13/paxton-files-lawsuit-against-man-allegedly-trying-take-over-loving-county
  12. Not so fast my plenary friend
  13. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/10/no-kings-protest-mike-johnson-00602705
  14. Welp, mark this down as one more way we're falling behind Oklahoma
  15. He's gotten another stay. There was actually a surprising story on NPR (KERA) yesterday about multiple Texas conservatives getting on Ken Paxton directly about this. It was nice to hear some people say "as supporters of the death penalty, it's our obligation to make absolutely sure it's only applied when 100% justified." https://www.texastribune.org/2025/10/09/robert-roberson-execution-blocked-texas-court-of-criminal-appeals/ Edit: here's the radio story from yesterday: https://www.keranews.org/texas-news/2025-10-07/gop-death-penalty-supporters-question-robert-robersons-execution
  16. So, as an example, Trump is removing protected status for a lot of Central American, South American and Caribbean populations. At the same time he is granting status to white (and only white) South Africans. All of this is perfectly legal under the authority of the president. Are you telling me with a straight face that this couldn't possibly be racist in its intent? I'm not even saying it necessarily is racist, but you have to see how it's possible to have immigration actions that are both legal and racist at the same time.
  17. The first episode of Underdogs with Ryan Reynolds on National Geographic has a great segment on how honey badgers are nearly indestructible. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/tv/episode/33b9ec1a-fe35-4d71-8ae5-e41dcef5af1e/playlist/PL553044961
  18. And here's a longer clip. They started chasing the guy because he said "Fuck Trump". We have a half dozen guys all geared up like their in a war zone and ready to beat this guy's ass all because they didn't like something he said.
  19. Aside from the general trend of US healthcare getting more expensive for everyone, we were told a major factor is the rise in high-cost claimants over the past couple years. We have 500 or so people in the US, so I could understand how it only takes a handful of high-cost people to drive things up. For example, a colleague spent the past ~18 months fighting stage 4 brain cancer. I'm going to his memorial this week.
